Analysis of Agreement Containing 

Consent Order to Aid Public Comment 

The Federal Trade Commission 

(‘‘FTC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) has accepted, 

subject to final approval, an agreement 

containing a consent order from Andrew 

N. Finkel (‘‘respondent’’). 

The proposed consent order 

(‘‘proposed order’’) has been placed on 

the public record for thirty (30) days for 

receipt of comments by interested 

persons. Comments received during this 

period will become part of the public 

record. After thirty (30) days, the 

Commission will again review the 

agreement and the comments received, 

and will decide whether it should 

withdraw from the agreement and take 

appropriate action or make final the 

agreement’s proposed order. 

This matter involves the advertising 

of a mobile software application (‘‘app’’) 

called Acne Pwner which respondent 

developed and sold in Google’s Android 

Marketplace. Respondent claimed that 

Acne Pwner effectively treats acne. The 

instructions for this app directed 

consumers to hold the light-emitting 

display screen next to the area of skin 

to be treated for a few minutes each day. 

The Commission’s complaint alleges 

that respondent violated Sections 5 and 

12 of the FTC Act by claiming, without 

substantiation, that the app provided an 

effective treatment for acne. 

The proposed consent order contains 

provisions designed to prevent 

respondent from engaging in similar 

practices in the future. Part I of the 

order prohibits respondent from making 

any representation that Acne Pwner, or 

any other device as defined by Section 

15 of the FTC Act, provides effective 

treatment for acne, unless respondent 

has competent and reliable scientific 

evidence to substantiate that claim. 

Part II of the order requires 

respondent to have competent and 

reliable scientific evidence before 

making any safety, performance, 

benefits, or efficacy claim about any 

device. 

Part III of the order requires 

respondent, within 15 days of the date 

the order becomes final, to pay the 

Commission $1,700. 

The remaining parts of the proposed 

order are standard provisions regarding 

recordkeeping, dissemination of the 

order to officers and employees, prior 

notification to the Commission of 

corporate changes, notification of new 

employment, filing of compliance 

reports, and sunsetting of the order. 

The purpose of this analysis is to 

facilitate public comment on the 

proposed order, and it is not intended 

to constitute an official interpretation of 

the agreement and proposed order or to 

modify in any way their terms. 

By direction of the Commission. 

Donald S. Clark, 

Secretary.

for Addition to the Special Exposure 

Cohort 

AGENCY: National Institute for 

Occupational Safety and Health 

(NIOSH), Department of Health and 

Human Services (HHS). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: HHS gives notice of a 

decision to designate a class of 

employees from the General Electric Co. 

in Evendale, Ohio, as an addition to the 

Special Exposure Cohort (SEC) under 

the Energy Employees Occupational 

Illness Compensation Program Act of 

2000. On August 31, 2011, the Secretary 

of HHS designated the following class of 

employees as an addition to the SEC: 

All employees of the Department of 

Energy, its predecessor agencies, and their 

contractors and subcontractors who worked 

at General Electric Co. in Evendale, Ohio, 

from January 1, 1961 through June 30, 1970, 

for a number of work days aggregating at least 

250 work days, occurring either solely under 

this employment or in combination with 

work days within the parameters established 

for one or more other classes of employees 

included in the Special Exposure Cohort. 

This designation will become 

effective on September 30, 2011, unless 

Congress provides otherwise prior to the 

effective date. After this effective date, 

HHS will publish a notice in the 

Federal Register reporting the addition 

of this class to the SEC or the result of 

any provision by Congress regarding the 

decision by HHS to add the class to the 

SEC.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND 

HUMAN SERVICES 

Announcement of Requirements and 

Registration for ‘‘Ensuring Safe 

Transitions From Hospital to Home’’ 

Authority: 15 U.S.C. 3719. 

AGENCY: Office of the National 

Coordinator for Health Information 

Technology, HHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The ‘‘Ensuring Safe 

Transitions from Hospital to Home’’ 

challenge tasks developers with creating 

technology solutions that empower 

discharged patients to take charge of 

their health care during transitions of 

places of care. Innovative applications 

will help patients and their caregivers 

insure that they have all the information 

and materials, such as drug 

prescriptions, medical equipment, 

follow-up appointments, and emergency 

contacts, that they need to move safely 

to their next care setting. 

The statutory authority for this 

challenge competition is Section 105 of 

the America COMPETES 

Reauthorization Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 

111–358). 

DATES: Effective on September 12, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Subject of Challenge Competition: 

ONC, in collaboration with the 

Partnership for Patients, seeks to 

stimulate innovative approaches to care 

transitions and improving patient safety. 

Nearly one in five patients discharged 

from a hospital will be readmitted 

within 30 days. A large proportion of 

readmissions can be prevented by 

improving communications and 

coordinating care before and after 

discharge. The Centers for Medicare and 

Medicaid Services (CMS) provides a 

discharge checklist to help patients and 

their caregivers prepare to leave a 

hospital, nursing home, or other care 

setting. Research has shown that 

empowering patients and caregivers 

with information and tools to manage 

the next steps in their care more 

confidently is a very effective way to 

reduce errors, decrease complications, 

and prevent a return visit to the 

hospital. ONC is challenging software 

developers to improve care transitions 

and build upon these tools by 

generating an intuitive and easy-to-use 

application to empower patients and 

caregivers that leverages NwHIN 

standards and services.
